A systematic approach to generalisations of General Relativity and their cosmological implications

L Heisenberg - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
A century ago, Einstein formulated his elegant and elaborate theory of General Relativity,
which has so far withstood a multitude of empirical tests with remarkable success …

Beyond the cosmological standard model

A Joyce, B Jain, J Khoury, M Trodden - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

Modified gravity and cosmology

EN Saridakis, R Lazkoz, V Salzano, PV Moniz… - 2021 - Springer
The dawn of the twenty-first century came with very positive prospects for gravity, cosmology,
and astrophysics. Technological progress made it possible for cosmology to enter to its …

[HTML][HTML] Massive gravity

C De Rham - Living reviews in relativity, 2014 - Springer
We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of
massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the …

Cosmological tests of modified gravity

K Koyama - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review recent progress in the construction of modified gravity models as alternatives to
dark energy as well as the development of cosmological tests of gravity. Einstein's theory of …

Ghost-free massive gravity with a general reference metric

SF Hassan, RA Rosen, A Schmidt-May - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract Theories of massive gravity inevitably include an auxiliary reference metric.
Generically, they also contain an inconsistency known as the Boulware-Deser ghost …

Recent developments in bimetric theory

A Schmidt-May, M von Strauss - Journal of Physics A …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
This review is dedicated to recent progress in the field of classical, interacting, massive spin-
2 theories, with a focus on ghost-free bimetric theory. We will outline its history and its …

Generalized framework for testing gravity with gravitational-wave propagation. I. Formulation

A Nishizawa - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
The direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from merging binary black holes and
neutron stars marks the beginning of a new era in gravitational physics, and it brings forth …

Cosmic acceleration from Abelian symmetry breaking

G Tasinato - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We discuss a consistent theory for a self-interacting vector field, breaking an
Abelian symmetry in such a way to obtain an interesting behavior for its longitudinal …

Anisotropic stress as a signature of nonstandard propagation of gravitational waves

ID Saltas, I Sawicki, L Amendola, M Kunz - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We make precise the heretofore ambiguous statement that anisotropic stress is a sign of a
modification of gravity. We show that in cosmological solutions of very general classes of …
